Summary

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common and underrecognised condition. The diagnosis of OSA is typically made after an in-lab polysomnography (PSG) which requires an overnight stay in a sleep laboratory. Many sleep laboratories have long waiting lists for PSG. There are a number of portable devices which may be useful in home diagnosis of OSA, however there is limited data on outcomes of OSA diagnosed and treated at home. In this study we propose to compare diagnostic accuracy of a home monitoring device with a PSG and outcomes of OSA therapy when implemented at home vs in the sleep laboratory.
